Jack and Lily

I am really excited to share these photos with everyone! Jack and I had a photo shoot with my friend Brandie this past Thursday and I am so impressed with how they turned out! She did a wonderful job.
Jack is a natural at this and looks sooo handsome!




I can't wait for Lily to arrive so that I can get some great pictures of both of my beautiful babies!!!!

I was very reluctant to do maternity shots of myself aside from the usual black and white belly shot, but I figured I should just throw caution to the wind.


I didn't realize how much goes into taking pictures! It's a tough job moving from one place to the next, changing clothes, and making sure little one stays happy. Of course, being pregnant in August makes everything difficult!! We had a great time and I am really thankful she did this for us!!!

My Sweet Lily

Seriously. I am getting soooo excited about my sweet baby girl. I am crushing on these A.D.O.R.A.B.L.E little bloomers and Rufflebutts. She will be 6 months in June so a little swing back top with a cute pair of bloomers will be absolutely perfect!!!

And what about this? Not to mention there are some for infants... And for holidays!!
I could just eat them up!!!
October 28th can't get here soon enough!

Too Hot

We are doing well for August. Not that August is a bad month for us, it is just so stinking hot that it is impossible for Jack and I to travel anywhere without us both getting irritable and needing a three hour nap afterward. So, for this month, we are doing well.
Brian is a defensive back coach with Grissom High School this year. We are totally pumped about the new job. He is now a high school coach and a trainer/coach at D1. I am pretty sure he is really happy about this upcoming season. I'm not going to lie, I am pretty excited about eating the hot dogs on Friday nights!!
Speaking of food - it is ALL that I think about. I wanted to keep my wait gain to a minimal this pregnancy and I have not been doing so well. Just the other day someone made a comment on how the doctor should check again to make sure there isn't two babies in my belly and how the due date might be wrong. Nice. Even the most well intentioned person, meaning no harm by the comments, can cross the line. But hey, what would pregnancy be without a few comments form the peanut factory?
I am going to substitute this year. It isn't exactly what I had planned for the 2010-2011 school year, but I have come to terms with it and will continue to pray about the situation. I will just use my pregnancy as a weapon. I'll make sure the kids know, understand, and believe that you DON'T test a pregnant woman!!! (just thinking about it makes me giggle a little!!)
Jackson has a pretty consistent bedtime routine. Lately, every time we set out for our night night routine, I am taken back by how big my little boy is. He is growing so fast. I am so thankful for the past two months that I have had at home with him. Although I'm not in a classroom this year, I am still so blessed to be able to stay with my baby at home.
I have a few projects I am going to start working on and I am excited about sharing them with you!!!
